About OpenQueensland
OpenQueensland helps Queenslanders understand the laws that govern them and hold their representatives accountable for the decisions made in their name.
We take public information from the Queensland Parliament — bills, speeches, votes, and committee activities — and present it organised around the topics that matter to your life: housing, health, work, education, and more.
Our Principles
- Non-partisan
- We present facts without editorialising. No ratings, rankings, or judgments of MPs or parties.
- Accessible
- Plain language always. No assumed knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
- Transparent
- We link to primary sources and are clear about our methodology, including AI-generated content.
- Citizen-first
- Designed for people, not institutions. Start from life situations, not legislative structures.
Data Sources
All data comes from public Queensland Parliament sources:
- Queensland Parliament website — bills, members, committees
- Queensland Parliament Open Data API — structured member and electorate data
Data used under Creative Commons BY-ND 4.0 license.
AI Transparency
Bill summaries and topic classifications are generated using AI (Google Gemini). These are clearly labelled throughout the site.
AI-generated content is reviewed for accuracy. If you spot an error, please let us know. Every bill page links to the original source documents so you can always verify the information.
